Starting in 2026, Google is considering an in-house Tensor processor for its Pixel Watch 5, potentially placing it in a better competitive position for smartwatch technology.
The move to an in-house chip could potentially relieve Google from reliance on Qualcomm, which has historically been slow in the wearable chip market, impacting Android smartwatches.
In the past, Android smartwatches faced chip stagnation issues, primarily when relying on Qualcomm's older processors, which hindered performance compared to rivals.
The documentation leak from early 2023 indicates that Google is proactively planning for the Pixel Watch 5, suggesting a commitment to enhance its smartwatch tech.
